We’ve got Canadian company Structur3D Printing to thank for this amazing scientific breakthrough after they created an attachment that can be affixed to any home 3D printer enabling it to print in soft materials.

So far they’ve only produced prototypes, but a Kickstarter campaign was launched today to secure funds to produce at least 100 of the ‘paste extruders’.

The Kickstarter campaign page explains: ‘There have been 3D printers specifically designed to print different types of food or silicone. Our product is different, because we’re allowing you to make use of the printer you already have at home.’

And you can get your very own extruder by pledging $249 Canadian dollars to the cause. Go, do it now.

The team initially hoped to raise $30,000 (CAD) but are already at over $53,000 (and climbing) with 34 days of fundraising to go. That’s how much people love Nutella.

Other soft materials the gadget will allow you to print in include Drywall, Silicone and, another gem, icing sugar.

The Discov3ry paste extruder is compatible with most popular brands of desktop 3D printer apparently, including MakerBot, Ultimaker and printrbot.

So, basically, all you need to do is get yourself a desktop 3D printer, pledge $249 (about £135) for your extruder and then you can print your own face in Nutella. Simple.
